A nurse is reviewing the medical record of a client diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder (ASPD). Which of the following would the nurse identify as having increased the client's risk for this condition?
A) Conduct disorder at age 12
B) History of childhood attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
C) Hispanic American cultural background
D) Female gender with alcohol use disorder
Ans: B
There is an increased likelihood of developing adult ASPD if there was an early onset of conduct disorder (before age 10 years) as well as accompanying childhood ADHD. Males with alcohol use disorder and those from substance abuse clinics, prisons, or other forensic settings have the highest rates. In the 2001 to 2002 National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (n = 43,093), the odds of ASPD were greater among Native Americans and lower among Asians, compared with white men and women.
